The Campaign for Lancaster Catholic High School
For over 90 years, Lancaster Catholic has been a beacon of hope, academic success, and unrivaled service to our community. Rooted in our vibrant, Catholic tradition, four years at Lancaster Catholic is much more than the classroom experience. That’s why we are excited to advance our mission through these future plans.

Love
It is a commissioning of all of our students to love and serve all people.
Honor
It is a call for all who walk through our halls to honor their commitment to be faith-filled leaders.

The exterior of Lancaster Catholic will receive a modern face-lift complete with a new curved roofline and a sleek glass facade that will allow for natural light to filter into the new lobby area.
Performing Arts Center Lobby
Students and guests will be welcomed into the Performing Arts Center with a large lobby area that will serve as a gateway to the Auditorium and the Catholic Student Life Center, which will include the collegiate-style Cafeteria and Student Commons.
Performing Arts Center
Launching itself into the 21st century, Lancaster Catholic’s 90-year-old building is being reimagined with a modern twist while preserving the history and culture of Catholic High. The Performing Arts Center will be the home for all of Lancaster Catholic’s school-wide Masses, plays, musicals, and concerts.
Student Commons
The student commons area will feature a completely updated cafeteria space with a collegiate-style food court and check-out counters. An open stairway will lead students to the upper student common area fitted with comfy chairs and access into the newly-designed library. Natural light will be in abundance with a dimensional and dramatic skylight.
Performing Arts Center and Stage
An elevated stage and lowered orchestra pit will be the star in the new auditorium. Stadium seating with plush cushions will allow audiences to have the best viewing experience possible. A sound and lighting control room will be positioned in the back of the auditorium with top of the line equipment.
Classroom Interior
In the STEM Innovation Center, classrooms will be air-conditioned and be fully equipped to meet the needs of 21st-century learners.
